1 Preparing and using for the first time

E If you are using the CLEARYL Blue filter cartridge and have

activated it in programming mode, you will not be able to

adjust the water hardness.

The harder the water is, the more frequently the IMPRESSA needs to

be descaled. It is therefore important to adjust the water hardness.

The water hardness can be adjusted on a continuous scale between

1° dH and 30° dH.
